Wow. I just finished the book, stayed up all night. Amazing book, by far my favorite in the series.

My favorite chapter is the Prince's Tale

Wow. Extraordinary end to an extraordinary series

Yep - I loved it, that was also my favourite chapter. Amazing how much was crammed into the book as a whole but that one chapter was incredible.

I know you as the rest of us were all anxious to see what happens at the end (?)
I can understand why you want to buy it as soon as it comes out, but I don't see why suffer and read like crazy when you can take your time, read it carefully, enjoy each chapter of this fine story.
I mean if you had the LAST bottle of a very fine expensive whine series you wouldn't just gulp the whole thing down at once, now would you?

Anyway, it was good to hear you liked it, I'm looking forward to reading it myself.

Reading it quickly doesn't mean you can't enjoy and savour it. Once I'd started it on the Saturday morning I couldn't put it down. I wouldn't call that suffering.

Im a slow reader, im a little over half way.

So far, its great. While the other books were definitely good, this one just has so much more going on in it. And the Deathly Hallows bit was something I really didnt see coming.

plus, I read it quickly because I was afraid of reading spoilers online. I basically kept off the internet for the most part until I finished it because people were posting spoilers all over.

I wish i'd have taken longer to read it but i just couldn't stop once i got going.

The biggest dissapointment to me was how short the denouement was. It was like BAM big battle, then done. I wanted to see a bit more. Maybe not quite Return of the King protracted ending, but this felt rushed.

The whole book felt kinda rushed to me. It was still a great book, though. I'm curious to see what JKR will come out with next (she'll have to either go a completely different route or top HP).

Then again, she could just say, "Screw you, world," and live off of her riches.

Yeah, i think it will be quite some time until we see something from her again.

 

[Hacp]

Hopefully, she won't come out with anything else, because people will always compare her new works with HP.

 

[MrToilet]

Just finished the book. Of all the books, I would say this is my favorite, or maybe the Half Blood Prince. They were both fantastic. Damn, where did the last 5 hours go?!

So what if they compare the new works to HP? I dont see the point....thats what people do-they compare authors works...and directors, and actors...and everyone else.

Just because they may compare the things doesn't seem to me to be reason enough to not want to read something else she does.

 

[MrToilet]

It's kind of funny, did you peeps ever notice that every book in the Harry Potter series starts out normal, but then, *bam*, at some point in each book, you just can't stop reading? At least that's the way it is for me.

 

[SLCentral]

Absolutely. At around page 500, I couldn't put the book down, and read it straight to the end. I was a little disappointed at the beginning, up to around page 300, but then BAM, Rowling did it again.

Well someone says "you bitch" in the last 700 pages. Never in the whole series has anyone said anything more derogatory than "arse" haha

Correct. I found it odd that a few characters used the word "effing" also.

I felt like the whole book was like that this time.

In 4, 5, and 6 there were those spots where you had to keep reading.

In 7, for me, it felt like th whole book was like that.

In correct-- the abbreviation "effing" is used a few times earlier in the series (I believe Uncle Vernon is the proud owner of a few). The "you bitch" in this book, was definitely appropriate given the circumstances I would say

MikeyLSU-- I would definitely definitely agree with you. This book was truly magical.

ya, when he entered the courtroom area @ the ministry of magic... that's when i was screwed. i knew i couldn't do anything til i had completed it.

finished reading in 2 days. it was so-so. Kinda disappointed. I think too many things trying to converge at the end, i felt was too much to keep track of. I would give the book a grade of C+.

I thought it was all laid out very well. Maybe you tried to rush through that part.

I give you a C+ :laugh:

He's not. I was shocked when I read it, too. But then it all made sense .

thanks for the f-ing spoilers, jackasses
i knew i shouldn't have read more of this thread, but i figured with the warnings from the mods in the subtitle, people wouldn't post that crap.
